Rivera is the city's 19th homicide of the year. The investigating surrounding his death continues.

Back in January, Rivera told police that he accidentally shot his son while inside a vehicle at the corner of 21st and Pierce streets. The boy's mother and grandmother were also inside the car.

Rivera drove to the hospital following the shooting. Police said he was uncooperative with detectives investigating the shooting. The gun, a 9mm Smith & Wesson handgun, was recovered from the vehicle and Rivera was found to be in possession of several Percocet pills.
